Trailer The Gleaners & I (2000)
Agnes Varda, Grande Dame of the French New Wave, has made 2001's most acclaimed non-fiction film -- a self-described "wandering-road documentary." Beginning with the well-known Jean-Francois Millet portray of girls gathering wheat left over from a harvest, she centered her ever-seeking eye on gleaners: those who scour already-reaped fields for the odd potato or turnip. Her research leads us from forgotten corners of the French countryside to off-hours at the green markets of Paris, following those who insist on discovering a use for that which society has forged off, whether out of necessity or activism. Varda's personal ruminations on her lifestyles as a filmmaker (a glener of sorts) provide her a connection to her topics that creates a touching human portrait that the L.A. Weekly deemed "a protest film it truly is section social critique, section travelogue, but always an unsentimental celebration of human resilience."
